Ski carrier with lock

Abstract

A bicycle type cable lock is attached to the pivot means of a ski carrier. The cable lock can be used to secure a pair of skis and poles to a permanent structure when they are attached to the ski carrier. The cable lock also can be used to secure the ski carrier by itself to a permanent structure such as a tree.

I claim as my invention: 
     
       1. A ski carrying assembly having a. a ski holder frame,   b. a resilient band attached to said frame,   c. a pair of skis with bindings having foot pieces strapped by the band to the frame,   d. a handle, and   e. a forward pin part and a rear pin part on the holder frame for pivoting the handle to the holder frame; wherein the improvement comprises:     f. a forward cable part secured to the forward pin part,   g. a rear cable part secured to the rear pin part,   h. a lock bolt on one of the cable parts,   i. a lock means on the other of the cable parts for releasably locking to the lock bolt,   j. each of said pin parts include knobs and protrusions which fit with flanges on the holder to prevent the pin parts being pulled from the holder, and   k. said cable wrapped and looped around the skis at the foot pieces of the binding of skis so that the skis cannot be removed when the cable is looped around them.   
     
     
       2. A ski carrying assembly comprising a ski holder assembly and a handle assembly, having: a. the ski holder assembly comprising a ski holder assembly frame and a resilient band,   b. said ski holder assembly frame comprising a rigid horizontally extending base, a rigid vertically extending front bar and a rigid vertically extending rear bar firmly joined together and outlining a ski holder assembly frame enclosure, said band attached to said base,   c. said ski holder assembly base comprising a horizontally extending rigid pivot means attached to and projecting forward and rearward from said base, hook means supported on said base and said resilient band attached to said base and releasably attached to said hook means,   d. said handle assembly comprising a rigid horizontally extending arm, a rigid front vertically extending arm and a rigid rear vertically extending arm, said vertically extending arms each connected at one end thereof to said horizontally extending arm and, at the other end thereof, pivotally attached to one end of said base, said horizontally extending arm and said front and rear arms and said base outlining a handle enclosure space, said handle assembly and said ski holder assembly pivotally connected to each other for pivotal movement around a longitudinal axis passing through said pivot means, said vertically extending arms extending at an angle to said longitudinal axis passing through said pivot means; wherein the improvement comprises:     e. a cable having two lock ends secured to the ski carrying assembly by said pivot means,   f. a lock bolt on one lock end of the cable,   g. a lock means on the other lock end of the cable for releasably locking to the lock bolt,   h. said pivot means is in two parts namely a forward pin part and a rear pin part,   i. said cable is in two parts namely a forward cable part and a rear cable part,   j. the forward cable part is secured to the forward pin part and the rear cable part is secured to the rear pin part,   k. the lock bolt is on one cable part and the lock means is on the other cable part and   l. each of said pin parts include knobs and protrusions which fit with flanges on the holder to prevent the pin parts being pulled from the holder.
